Take advantage of Washington, D.C.
For history buffs, a day trip into Washington, D.C. can be more fun than one would think.  Visiting the Smithsonian with family and/or friends is a free way to explore new concepts, learn new things, all while enjoying the company of those around.  Even trying a new restaurant in the city is a nice change of atmosphere.
